Since I downloaded the last update, a window to enable Hotspot keeps popping up. There is no option to disable it. I can't find it under extensions, add ons or plug ins. I looked for it in Control Panel/Programs. There's also a red "x" on the Wifi icon in the taskbar but WiFi is working.

I'm using Quantum 61.0.1 with Windows 7.
